Roger Federer scores his third victory at the Miami Open, and his 91st singles title on the ATP World Tour. At the victory podium, the Swiss tennis legend, a Rolex ambassador, sports the manufacture's newest Sky-Dweller Ref. 326934 timepiece available in a new blue dial.
Beating rival Rafa Nadal 6-3 6-4 and peerless so far this year after returning from a six-month injury absence, Federer broke once in each set for his fourth consecutive victory over Nadal, even though the Spaniard still leads their career head-to-head record at 23-14, due entirely to his superiority on clay.
Federer, now a three-time Miami winner, leads 10-9 on hardcourt.
The 35-year-old Swiss, showing no sign of losing his edge, improved to 19-1 this year, winning the Australian Open in five sets over Nadal, and BNP Paribas Open in straight sets over fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka. His only loss was at the hands of Russian Evgeny Donskoy in the second round in Dubai.
"What a start to the year. I can’t believe it. For me the dream continues," said Federer, who still has a ways to go to match his career-best 35-1 start in 2005.
